<p>Dinner at mom's house this past weekend produced a few Fall/Thanksgiving-like scenes. Here's one of them. Played around with it in Lightroom in an attempt to achieve a vintage styled photo.</p><div></div>

<p>We went to the Grand Canyon this past weekend and arrived just in time for some snow. This is the train that runs from Williams, Arizona, up to the canyon.</p><div></div>

<p>Nathan - brilliant blues on that duck.<br />Martin - love it!<br />Rob - subtle, nice :)<br />David - well done! Great colors and composition.<br>

I arrived at a meeting 20 minutes early, so I decided to play around with my client's bulldog for a bit. <br>

Canon 5D Mark II. 16-35 lens. 1/6400, F/5.6, ISO 1000 @ 35 mm. The shutter speed didn't need to be that fast, but this little guy never sits still.</p>

<p>Nathan,<br>

It's photoshop. I copied a layer, used a radial zoom effect and then a layer mask to bring back much, but not all of the picture. Then lowered the opacity of the entire top image. I hope that all makes sense. It is a technique I have used on several photos, which, I think, if done right gives an interesting perspective. <br>

Thanks<br>

Bob</p>

<p>Another great week of photos. They are all great, and I wanted to comment on a few:<br>

Nathan - I love the colors on that duck. Your patience was rewarded nicely!<br>

Robin's church fence, The balance of the composition makes a simple shot work so well.<br>

Wade - Ring around the moon - great colors, and the wide angle adds just the right amount of surrealism to the scene.<br>

Dennis' LSU shot - unique perspective and great colors make this a fun shot.<br>

Martin's Icelandic lake. I'm a sucker for sunrise/sunsets with clouds, sky and water, so I love that shot. Although, in Iceland in November, that's probably high noon! <br>

David's snowy grand canyon shot - the contrast between the foreground and background makes that look like a studio set up - very cool. Were you and Jeff there together?<br>

Here's my contribution for the week - looking south from Nepenthe Restaurant in Big Sur, CA, from last Friday.</p><div></div>

<p>Just a simple fisherman photo last week in high contrast B&W. Jeff B -- LOVE your snowy train photo. So excellent.<br>

Also I love DC's LSU shot. Way to go! Far out DC.<br>

<p><strong>Shot On Goal</strong><br>

A highly imperfect sequence collage of my son's shot on goal at his most recent soccer match. The goalkeep managed to save it, but my son scored a few minutes later with a less artful kick. This was the shot he wanted to talk about afterwards.</p>

<p>Not the best I have done, but this is my contribution shot this week:</p><div></div>

[JDMvW]

<p>Fall colors here in southern Illinois are not ever quite so brilliant as New England, but this year was even more muted/subtle than usual.</p>

<p>Do I have an obsession with water towers, and why?</p><div></div>
